Drag Radial Questions

What size do you guys recommend for a 16X7.5 wheel? Just about everyone that I found here is using a 15" wheel.

Where is a good place to purchase them?

uh, if you're going with 16" nitto drag radials, that's the only size you'd want to use on that wheel. they have a 245/50/16, but that's a bit wide for the wheel and they have a 205/45/16 but that's too small IMHO.

the only 16" size that BF Goodrich drag radials come in are 255/50/16 so you're out of luck there.

So I guess that answers that. Thanks for the input. Any idea on pricing from discount tire? I don't see a section and assume I have to call them, but I'm not ordering them until spring gets closer.

I've seen $100-$130 each on different sites. Sound reasonable?
